Pros:

ultra light and sharp lens for use on all DX cameras

Cons:

plastic shoe

Nikon professional user.

This lens should be in your camera bag if you like simple blur-free photographs. The VR is superb.

It is super-light and sharp. Fine on my D300 and D3100 cameras when I don't want to carry a heavy zoom and the results are perfect in good light conditions.

Perfect holiday/travelling lens. Use a rubber hood to protect it from knocks.

Pros:

Cheap, decent image quality, VR, good macro for non-macro lens

Cons:

softness at 55 mm, build quality is not good

This is KIT lens for low level Nikon cameras. I have used it for around 6 month and can confidently say that it is excellent lens for a KIT.

Many starters look for another lens from a very beginning or purchase body only + expensive zoom, but I don't think it is good idea. For a very small price you get decent image quality and good opportunity to learn what would you need in future: tele lens or wide angle, faster apperture or better VR, portrait or macro. You will find you photography style and buy better lens in your selected niche. Ideal lens for a starter.
